Healthy Sweet Swaps for Easter
Americans spent over $2 billion on Easter candy last year, with the average family spending just under $30 (source: Barna Group, National Retail Federation, National Confectioner’s Association). That is a lot of chocolate, candy and sugar coated-eggs, that are commonly filled with artificial colors, flavors and sweeteners and ‘bad’ for our children. As parents are looking for more natural candy options for their themselves and their kids to enjoy, leading brand of naturally good gummy candies and jelly beans, Surf Sweets, has perfect swaps for a healthier Easter Basket without sacrificing all the flavor we all expect in candy.

My Thoughts
There is nothing my kids love to have in their lunch box more than fruit snacks. They would eat them everyday if they could. I've tried a lot of brands and they all seemed pretty much the same. But the fruit snacks at Surf Sweets are unique. They are unique because they are certified organic and are made with only natural ingredients! They are also loaded with Vitamin C, are certified organic and they taste great.
We received a selection of Surf Sweets snacks to try out for our review. They come in gummy bear, fruity bears, sour berry bears, gummy worms, and jelly bean to name just a few varieties. It didn't take much prompting to get my kids to try them because they will eat anything that looks like candy. But I know that these fruit snacks are actually good for them. They loved the great fruit flavors. I tried them too. Even though I normally find the fruit snacks to be a little too sweet for me, these snacks were pretty tasty. They actually taste like real fruit. They are a great way to satisfy the afternoon munchies.

I love companies that make good for you candies.
It's great that they are organic! They may have the sugar, but the gluten is out of them.
I think they sound great. It is nice to have them with out corn syrup. I am not allergic but it is nice to be able to advise someone of something good for them and sweet too!
The candy sounds great. I want to give the children healthy candy for Easter. It is important to start healthy habits early.
